PADUA, a city of great artistic and cultural traditions, features important monuments: the University, which numbers among the oldest and most famous of Europe, the Scrovegni Chapel, which houses the most complete and best-preserved work Giotto, and St. Anthony’s Cathedral, which every year is the destination of pilgrims from all around the world. The province also boasts a vast artistic, natural, and cultural heritage that is often not touted. Just think of the wealth of flora of the Euganei Hills, the countless villas and castles that dot the countryside, the monasteries that hold true treasure of art, the medieval walled cities (Monselice, Este, Montagnana, Cittadella) and the waterways and rural “casoni”, or estates.
